Indeed you are very correct,and if we look at this website.. we see that it is infact done in HTML as well!
http://www.anthrax.osd.mil/HTML_interface/default. html and looks just as good =)
granted they don't know what they are doing with graphics.. since I"m running here at 800x600 and the right frame is in scroll bars... but...
Actually that would be a really kean idea... or at least something ( a free application ) which would allow windows users to run linux in a box (just like we can run windows in a box on linux now).. anyone know of something like this?
go to http://www.heavens-above.com
there you can track sats and you can probably find out what they are... probably they are geosyncronous sats... anyway... at that above website you can also track MIR, STS, ISS, etc.. nice!:)
Just as anyone can now register a.org domain, even companies that are for profit in some ways (slashdot.. banner ads?), and companies owned by profit organizations (andover). Anyone can register a.org domain. Unless the.coop domain is regulated like the.edu domains are, they will probably fall into the hands of anyone and everyone.
Indeed. Here at home I have an x86 platform with Windows 95 running. I also have a linux machine on an x86 platform. Now plugins are available for both of these machines most of the time. However, when you have browsers running on these i-openers and what not, that run who knows what... the question really is.... what do you do when you want to view content? I don't personally own a WebTV, but perhaps someone here who has one could comment. What happens when you want to view content with WebTV that requires a plugin? Are you just left out? Or can you do it. This could seriously hurt web appliances, especially with the fast growth of the web, and plugin use.
Wow! This is truely amazing. I've seen information on companies attempting to get a robot to be able to walk, but the main problem has usually been a balance issue. About 3 - 4 years ago I saw something on a program calling, "Discovery 2000???" or something like that, on the Sci-Fi channel, about robots and different ones that they were working on. COG was on the show, the robot that can catch the ball when thrown at him. They also had some that would walk, though it was very slow (perhaps like the first self driven vehicle?) however, I'm assume just like the vehicle, we will soon see robots that can walk with great speed.
Ekkkk.. that's not good.
That's like there being a car wreck someplace in the U.S. and UUNet going down because of it. This reminds me though, of that article I read once, where the sharkes were eating the fiber optic cable, cause they liked the taste of the gel inside it.
(sorry don't know where a link to the story is)
I noticed that many jobs dont' require degrees any more, especially ones in the data communications field. As long as you have the skills and can show that, the company is willing to hire you. The question is, in the next few years, as geeks are able to train themselves at home, will degrees totally go away? Or should the geeks of today go to colelge to get a degree in something?
Excelent! We need good sources of documentation and HOW-TO for linux. All too many times people in #linux or #linuxhelp are rude, and obnoxious when a newbie askes a very sipmle and innocent question. There needs to be websitea nd chat rooms that can help these newbies get into Linux, otherwise how can one assume that linux will grow?
Ok,
First of all, banning French Ips doesn't mean no one in France can access it. They could proxy around if they really wanted to, and I'm sure there are Ips which aren't directly French, which would allow people to get in. Secondly, what if for some reason a French type person WANTS to actually look at and purhaps buy this type of item? What in the world is this coming to? If they are allowed to do this, then perhaps they are also allowed to make CNN block it's democratic pages to people who are in republican states, or vis versa! That's like slashdot blocking it's site from AOL users.
Why would you want a Pentium 4? You need like a pound of heat sink, and you need to get a new case... cause the MB won't fit in what you have now. Sorry I'll stick with my P III - 800mhz:)
I'll have you know I *DID* read the artciels.. and this, just like a ton of other stories on slashdot is a repeat! SHESEH! This information was already posted prior to this aticle!
Ahh I remember those days.. the free Unix BBS systems... Free Nets! Societies of computer people.. who knew how to use unix. Are people getting dumber? Because it seems that now people can't use Unix or even Windows anymore.. yet ages ago they could! Hrmm what's going on here?
I for one have taken a computer networking course, and I don't find the terms to be terrible confusing... though that could be because I've been exposed to them before, and in the past. I'm not coming into them as something new. I kinda feel though like it's not so important to know the terms as how things work. However, I don't think teachers agree with this thinking =)
ARG! One gets saved.. the other comes down.. then a few weeks later we read the the other one got saved and now this one is going to be coming down. Personally, I'm a bit concerned about this huge honking thing coming flying out of the sky with no retro-rockets or pilot on it to control where it goes. Now, I do have faith in NASA that they know what they are doing *smirk* but this huge thing coming flying out of the sky kinda scares me... even more so if I lived on the West coast I think.. Though, if this does happen... I hope someone gets it on tape!
I don't exactly entirely agree with that.
I think, even at a camp, that flex time should be available to the public. For-instance. If I wish to get up at 9, and start working then, as long as there is adequet staff (2 or 3) to cover setting up for the tables, and what not for breakfast, then you know, you shouldn't need those extra people, who often times just stand around. In addition, people are often, i've seen, not doing much of things, and they could be doing more, or multiple people do one person jobs, so in fact I think no matter, just about, what organization you are in, you can have some flex time.
What I'd like to know is just how long we have been using this software to count ballets? Was it used int he last election? How long could this have been throwing things off? Then the question comes up, if we go to touch screen voting or something like that, what will happen if a hard drive or system failure occurres, as we all know it will inevitably.
This is a really neat idea. I have a bunch of old computers sitting around the house, and I've always felt it's a waste to jus through them out, yah know? Yuo just feel bad seeing them sitting there on the curb, wiating for the trash man to come and pick them up.. but at $30.00 a pop I think I just may contact IBM and find out what the stipulations on this are.
Personally,
i think that it's agood NSI has taken a stand. There is no reason to be registering obscene domain names. The only reason someone is going to register a domain name like that, is to use it for a pornographic site, or some such other waste of bandwidth. I for one am happy to see this going on.
Where a friend of mine goes to school they use a proxy server (which happens to rought through the ISP that I work for) heheh... anyway.. he goes to a public high school. As far as I know though, the proxy server at the ISp doesn't log the URLs anyone goes to. It's basically a Family Friendly type of service, which anyone who subscribes to the ISp for internet access can use. They just put in the proxy settings and then the systme goes through something known as "Bess Proxy" which is a service that available to ISPs from another outside source. I've never used the service, but I've heard it works fairly well. Of course, there is a password to override it, so I assume the students could get around it.
I've heard stories from the person that I know who says that he knows someone who went into the Library at the school, turned off Fortress (the software used to lock down the computer systems)_ and that turned of bess-proxy so he was able to get around to other sites that the school woudl have liked him to not get around to.
Something like, the password for the Library computres was library. If the school really doesn't want kids getting into stuff, then why not make the passwords harder? I know where I went to college a while ago, and had access to some system administration things, the passwords were very eays. Why do school's not choose harder passwords? Do they not care about security?
I've seen this before, and while it's old... I still love it! It's great.... Inspiration.. just think what could come next..

granted they don't know what they are doing with graphics.. since I"m running here at 800x600 and the right frame is in scroll bars... but...
It may run in windows... however, there is no version of VMWare that I see for windows 95/98! That leaves a good deal of us out of the water.. *sigh*
Actually that would be a really kean idea... or at least something ( a free application ) which would allow windows users to run linux in a box (just like we can run windows in a box on linux now).. anyone know of something like this?
